Hello fellow bikers,
Here again after introducing myself to this forum in the section “new member” where I have to say I felt welcome!
So this is the plan, my girlfriend (who is a journalist - 26 years old)) and I (32) are going to travel from Cape town to Dar es Salam. (well if possible even to Kigali afterwards but let’s see about that!)
We should land in Cape town around the 1st of October 2016.
We want to buy 2 Honda ace 125 in Cape town - https://honda.co.za/en/products/motorcycles/street/ace-125/#/model-overview/features/
As we are foreigners with a tourist Visa it might be difficult to purchase a motorbike in South Africa but some nice biker made a guide on how to do it :
https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/sub-saharan-africa/foreigners-guide-purchasing-motorcycle-south-80508
Most challenging part is to obtain a TRN,
First question, what is your opinion about this “how to” guide, will it work? Is it Up to date?
We have around 4-6 month to travel from Cape town to Dar es Salam. We have to make reports for a Belgian newspaper about every country we are crossing (so South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Tanzania)
Our road plan (roughly made using google maps) : https://imgur.com/iRqAMKS - most of the info we will get will be in those cities so we cannot avoid cities basically.
Please let me know what do you think about it? If you have some tips for the roads to take and not to take? How safe it is (especially that I am traveling with a woman)? Any contact we could have to help us along the way?
Any tip is welcome basically..
The reports we have been hired to make will be around this subject : Situation of women, law vs custom.

and last video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmmkwsWvkE4.
Thanks in advance!
Take care,
Nico.
